Zhuang Han looked at Cheng Jiang in amazement. "Impressive, old man. You have such a high opinion of that girl."
Cheng Jiang smiled and gazed at Nan Huang with bright eyes.
It wasn't just her knowledge base that impressed him.
With so many people watching her, in such a high-pressure environment, she remained completely composed, not a trace of panic.
Indeed, she was extraordinary. He had never seen such a talent before, and he was quite delighted.
Nan Huang completed the final question and checked the time. It had taken her nearly half an hour.
She stood up and handed her test paper to an elderly man nearby. The man received it, and a few people gathered to grade the paper.
The more they graded, the more astonished they became.
All correct! Every single answer was right!
Some of her responses were even better than their standard answers.
After submitting her test paper, Nan Huang went silent, leaning against the wall with her cap pulled low, obscuring her eyes and blending into the background.
However, no matter how much she tried to lower her presence, many people's eyes remained fixed on her.
She wore a simple white shirt, jeans, and a black maple leaf baseball cap on her head. She had a slender yet well-proportioned figure, exuding a youthful and confident aura. It was truly striking.
They didn't have to wait long for Nan Huang's results. Soon, her entire test paper, both front and back, was displayed on the big screen.
All correct!! Full marks!!
With over a hundred invigilators on-site and a completely sealed test paper, there was no room for cheating.
The students who had accused Nan Huang of cheating before were dumbfounded.
Was this real?
Could it be real? They had come here to take the exam alongside geniuses from various regions, but they couldn't have imagined that there was a genius among geniuses, someone who regarded geniuses and ordinary people the same way.
A genius among geniuses.
The field fell silent for a long time, though it might have only been a short while. Suddenly, someone spoke up, "Hey, should we apologize?"
"But it's not just me who accused her."
"That's right! How could we have known she's so exceptional?"
"Are you really okay with this? We were just misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? You clearly wanted to shift the blame."
The crowd began buzzing with discussion.
Nan Huang, however, paid little attention. No one could see her eyes. At this moment, she seemed as if she were in a world of her own.
Daydreaming.
Or to put it more nicely, she was clearing her mind.
"Ye Nan Huang, do we need to apologize?" Suddenly, a boy stepped forward, bowing deeply with utmost sincerity. "I misunderstood you, and I apologize for the hurtful things I said."
As this boy stood up to apologize, a girl beside him also stood. "Ye Nan Huang, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you, and I apologize. I was wrong to accuse you without evidence."
Following their lead, more people began to apologize.
"Ye Nan Huang, I'm sorry!"
"We misunderstood you, and we're sorry!"
"We apologize for our mistakes."
"Sorry!"
Nan Huang emerged from her spot by the wall, approached Mu Yun, and stood not too far away, her gaze fixed on her.
But for some reason, Mu Yun, in this moment, felt that the person before her was incredibly tall, exuding a strong sense of threat that made it hard to breathe.
Nan Huang looked at her and said, "And you?"
Mu Yun clenched her fists. She was quite petite, so she appeared vulnerable, but something about this situation was making her feel overwhelmingly threatened and scared, as if she couldn't breathe.
Nan Huang continued, "Pretending to be pitiful won't work with me."
Mu Yun stuttered, "I... I'm sorry."
Nan Huang's lips curled up with a hint of pride. "I love bullying girls who act fragile."
In an instant, Mu Yun felt her entire body go cold, and cold sweat began pouring out.
A sense of murderous intent, of impending death.
In that moment, she felt a genuine threat to her life.
Too terrifying.
Too terrifying!!
Ye Nan Huang, this woman, was too terrifying.
Right at this moment, Mu Yun couldn't move a muscle, and if anyone looked closely, they could see the fine beads of sweat on her trembling body.
Nan Huang straightened herself, put her hands back in her pockets, and casually addressed the group of people who had apologized. "It's okay. I don't mind."
Having said that, she once again lowered her presence and quietly stood to the side.
She had just released a hint of her killing intent.
In a peaceful society, she rarely had to resort to such measures. But it wasn't difficult to release a bit of killing intent.
For the world that Mu Yun had never ventured into, she would probably lose sleep tonight out of fear.
Under her cap, Nan Huang smiled lightly.
With this so-called cheating incident finally resolved, Cheng Jiang looked at her and nodded in satisfaction.
A staff member came forward and said, "The second round of assessments has concluded successfully. Next, please follow the ranking list above the red line to the third assessment venue."
Out of a thousand participants, the first round of written exams had narrowed it down to just over a hundred, and this second round further reduced it to around twenty.
It was indeed a rigorous and harsh assessment.
President Cheng Jiang, intrigued by Nan Huang's participation, chuckled. "Since we're here, I'll join you for the third round."
Accompanied by the staff, the group of twenty candidates, along with President Cheng Jiang and Zhuang Han, two distinguished figures, headed toward the third assessment venue.
On the way, Zhuang Han said to Cheng Jiang with a smile, "Old friend, you seem quite excited about the third round."
"Yes," Cheng Jiang smiled and replied, "I'm curious to see how she will tackle the questions I'm going to present."
